    New Purchase (Sight Unseen :) ) - 1995 RRC LWB - 4.2L

    Guys,

    Had the chance to purchase an off market 95 LWB with a bunch of interior and suspension work done, and a ton of attempted engine work. There was an expectation to spend some money on it and make her a daily driver.

    This noise started a couple days after receiving and driving around a bit. Engine oil was super low upon checking, added a bunch. Everything I'm readying is that this is either a slipped sleeve or lifters.

    So new engine (halfway considered it to be fair) or easy fix?

    Sounds like a lifter to me - you did say it was low on oil. Does it get noisier as the engine warms up?

    sounds like you had the camera almost right over the ticking. Lifter? Find a video of a loose liner to see what it sounds like and compare them It sounds like rebuilds are wiping out cams all the time these days, so I would be suprised if you have lost a lifter/cam lobe.
